#StolenGP Update on Yesterdays Cresta shooting & robbery. Fareed Hoosen of Linden: Hi everyone.To clarify a few things on todays shooting at Cresta shopping center. My crew and I were the second vehicle on scene after Linden Police vehicle arrived. We were backed up by CSS Tactical, and also CSS Community and our pal. Anthony, ex-policeman.They helped us to secure the crime scene, which was in chaos.Upon our arrival, people were still running out the center to their cars.As we were trying to get through traffic there, we heard the AK47 gunfire as well.The suspects were 6 men inside the center. One spotter and 5 armed.They held up staff at the newly opened iStore and took all the iphones and Ipads by packing into bags that they brought with them.As they exited, an armed private guard for the delivery for the iphones, saw them, and opened fire on one suspect in the mall. He shot one suspect. As they ran off, he shot again. The 5 armed men made their way out of the Game entrance side, and as they got outside, the armed security guy followed them, and shot again.The suspects then returned fire.At that point, the public were running for cover among the ensuing gunshots.A second group of suspects armed with AK47 assault rifle, were in the parking lot. They opened fire as well, and shot a bakkie, and also up at the entrance of the shopping center. Thankfully, they didnt shoot very well, as no ak rounds hit any person.A innocent bystander, a man, was at his vehicle, which was parked at the entrance area, and he was shot by one of the armed suspects. He was hit in both arms as the bullet came through the car window. He managed to get out of the car during the gunfire and git a few meters to the entrance and collapsed. He was treated by ER24, who arrived VERY quickly on scene, and transported to hospital.One of the suspects was definitely shot, but they all managed to get away.There were 2 other vehicles involved as well, that sped away when the 5 men got to their vehicle.The suspects bakkie was either a Corsa bakkie, or nissan np200, as well as a dark coloured Audi A3 and a white Quantam. Reg details as yet unconfirmed.Those are the correct details of that crime scene.We have finally left the scene now.
